It has been suggested by a leaker who has a good track record that one or more of the iPhone 19 models would consist of a selfie camera that is located underneath the screen.
Considering that the Face ID technology is anticipated to be moved underneath the display in the next year, this might possibly make it possible for Apple to have an all-screen front by the year 2027, without the need of a notch, Dynamic Island, or camera punch-hole.
When it comes to Apple’s efforts to ensure that the iPhone screen is uninterrupted, we anticipate that the company will use a two-stage approach.
Integration of Face ID
The first step would be to include the Face ID emitter and receiver inside the display itself below it. At this point, there is a strong basis for the belief that this technology will make its debut in the iPhone 18 Pro.
An Apple patent that was applied for and released this year gave the impression that the company had finally found a solution to the most significant issue associated with this, which was the fact that infrared light does not travel very well through screens. One of the solutions that Apple proposes is to eliminate the subpixels from the display in a manner that is not obvious to the user.
At the beginning of this month, The Information said that the firm will ultimately officially unveil this technology in the two iPhone 18 Pro versions. Subsequently, a company that had been rumoured to be working with Apple on this for a long time stated that it anticipates its technology to be utilised in a smartphone that would be available for purchase in the year 2026.
Miniature camera for taking selfies
The next phase, which is going to be far more difficult, is going to be to embed the front-facing camera underneath the screen. Technically speaking, this is feasible in the present day; nevertheless, the quality has been severely limited.
A user on Weibo known as Digital Chat Station has previously said that there have been internal testing conducted on the technology, and they have implied that these tests might be related to the iPhone Fold. They now say that this is anticipated to make its debut in the year 2027, citing “supply-chain information” that is not stated.
